Chapter 118: Chapter 118: Unsealing the Counterattack
“Squeak!”

рlease,reading On ΒΟXΝOVEL.ϹʘM

Wang Chen’s movements were swift as lightning, and the Lantern Carrying Puppet he had locked on to had no time to dodge; it was instantly enveloped by the Demon-Slaying Net.

The White Wanderer Grade Evil Wraith suddenly let out a sharp shriek.

In the midst of its scream, its true form was revealed, and its hideous soul body immediately emitted wisps of white smoke.

With a snap of his fingers, it dissipated into nothingness!

Compared to the Wandering Night Spirit, the Lantern Carrying Puppet of a higher rank lasted but a moment longer under the Demon-Slaying Net.

But the result was no different.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

“Whimper!”

Meanwhile, the other two Lantern Carrying Puppets were seriously injured by the Evil-Repelling Talisman and tried to flee while wailing tragically.

However, for Wang Chen, whose eyes were reddened with the thrill of the hunt,

how could he allow his prey to slip away right under his nose!

“Tinkle Tinkle~”

He unhesitatingly summoned the Soul-Shaking Bell.

The crisp, pleasant bell chimes spread in all directions, and both Lantern Carrying Puppets shook simultaneously, with their soul bodies showing signs of disintegration.

Although the Soul-Shaking Bell wasn’t a very powerful Magic Artifact,

it specialized in attacking the Divine Soul and exerted considerable restraining effects on low-rank soul body-based Evil Wraiths.

Taking advantage of the momentary stun on his targets, Wang Chen once again scattered the freshly retracted Demon-Slaying Net.

Enshrouding the second Lantern Carrying Puppet!

By eliminating a Lantern Carrying Puppet himself, Wang Chen could harvest around 10 points of Human Virtue.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

Using the Demon-Slaying Net, however, that was 30 unsealing points!

“Tinkle Tinkle~”

The Soul-Shaking Bell rang out again, reestablishing its grip on the third Lantern Carrying Puppet that had just recovered.

Allowing Wang Chen to complete the harvest at his leisure!

Drawing breath in the interim,

he checked his Immortal Cultivation panel.

[Heaven-Ensnaring Punisher Net (Sealed): 99705/100000]

Only 295 points to go.

Continue!

However, just as Wang Chen brought up the unsealing points of the Demon-Slaying Net to 99811, dense fog suddenly surged from the depths of Chaotic Burial Mound, with the wandering Evil Wraiths throwing themselves into it and vanishing from sight.

Faint ghostly lights lit up in front of him, casting shadows upon shadows.

“Come, fight, come, fight, come, fight!”

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

An ancient voice reached Wang Chen’s ears, causing the blood in his veins to boil involuntarily with eagerness to rush into the fray and enjoy a good fight with the enemy.

In his Sea of Consciousness, the True Form of Heavenly Dragon suddenly let out a soundless roar, trying to break free from the constraints of the Taoist Heart Lock Chain!

Ridiculous!

Wang Chen scoffed, effortlessly suppressing the restless Qi-Blood and the Heavenly Dragon in his Sea of Consciousness.

Now, his Taoist heart was solid, and his Divine Soul even stronger, completely unphased by such strange charm trickery meant to befuddle the mind!

Instinct told Wang Chen that the BOSS he intended to kill tonight had already laid a killing formation inside Chaotic Burial Mound.

Just waiting for him to step in!

With that in mind, Wang Chen turned around and walked away.

After deciding to level the Chaotic Burial Mound, Wang Chen had specifically looked up information.

If his guess was correct, the BOSS he wished to kill was likely “Granny Tree”.

A Black Traveler tier Evil Wraith.

This kind of Evil Wraith was quite special.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

Its true body was a tree demon that grew in Yin Sha Lands, which began to wreak havoc after being taken over by the Evil Wraith.

Granny Tree could control wandering spirits to serve her, luring mortals or Cultivators that passed by her territory to provide her with sustenance.

It was vicious and sly in nature.

As he departed, he turned his back to the Granny Tree that was beckoning from deep within the Evil Nest and boldly flipped the bird!

Wang Chen believed,

even if the Evil Wraith didn’t understand the meaning of this gesture, it could feel his relentless mockery!

The next moment, Wang Chen dashed forward like an arrow released from the bowstring,

vanishing in the blink of an eye without a trace.

After a short while, hundreds of tendrils burst through the fog and swept over the area where Wang Chen had been standing, whipping and lashing against one another with a crackling sound.

The chaos lasted for the time it takes to brew half a cup of tea, then they reluctantly retracted back into the mist.

Chaotic Burial Mound quickly returned to tranquility.

Simultaneously, Wang Chen flew back to his underground chamber.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

“Whimper!”

Hearing the noise of Wang Chen’s return, Yuanyuan immediately popped out from the wooden house and jumped on the table to act coquettishly with him.

Wang Chen petted the little one’s head, “There, there, go play on your own.”

He moved to the adjacent chamber and took the Heaven-Ensnaring Punisher Net in hand.

[Heaven-Ensnaring Punisher Net (Sealed): 99811/100000]

Less than two hundred points away from being unsealed.

Wang Chen had previously hunted numerous Wandering Night Spirits and Lantern Carrying Puppets, which were evidently released by Granny Tree to lure him deeper into Chaotic Burial Mound for a life-and-death confrontation.

Wang Chen hadn’t fallen for the bait, and he surely wouldn’t have the same advantage if he went again.

So he resolutely decided to use his accumulated Human Virtue to make up the last hundred or so unsealing points!

Although it wasn’t the most cost-effective,

“`

But good steel is well spent on the blade’s edge, and he had no intention of sparing his opponent.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

Add more, add more, keep adding!

The Human Virtue that Wang Chen possessed rapidly depleted as the unlock points for the Heaven-Ensnaring Punisher Net climbed higher.

[Heaven-Ensnaring Punisher Net (Sealed): 99999/100000]

Wang Chen took a deep breath.

Add points!

With the final point added, the Demon-Slaying Net in his hand suddenly burst forth with a brilliant and dazzling golden light.

The golden glow was so bright it reached its extreme.

Not only did it sting Wang Chen’s eyes, but it also illuminated every tiny detail of the entire secret chamber!

After a short while, the golden light faded, and Wang Chen’s vision gradually recovered.

At this point, he saw the Heaven-Ensnaring Punisher Net had changed its appearance!

Its size and weight seemed to be no different from before.

But its color had transformed into the color of Mysterious Gold.

It had lost all sense of being worn and old.

Upon closer inspection, one could see countless runes branded onto each thread of the net.

These complex runes were densely and intricately interwoven.

Covering the entire net.

Truly understated luxury with profundity.

One glance was all it took to recognize it as a genuine treasure!

Wang Chen then looked at his immortal cultivation panel.

The corresponding name in the equipment slot had been changed: Heaven-Ensnaring Punisher Net.

Just five simple words.

He held the net in his hand and began to infuse it with mana.

Just now, the moment the Heaven-Ensnaring Punisher Net was unsealed, Wang Chen’s Sea of Consciousness acquired a new Dharma Technique.

The Dharma Technique to refine the Heaven-Ensnaring Punisher Net!

And just as Wang Chen began to refine it following this technique, the Demon-Slaying Net suddenly produced an enormous suction force, continuously drawing in his mana.

Wang Chen could only channel the mana from his Dantian with all his might, refining it while satisfying its demands.

By the time he completed the initial refinement, his Dantian was nearly exhausted of mana!

But the effect was very clear.

After the successful refinement, Wang Chen could clearly feel a very subtle connection with the treasure, as if it were part of his own body.

With a thought from Wang Chen, the Demon-Slaying Net suddenly wrapped tightly around his forearm.

Transforming into a dark golden armguard!

Just like the ring transformed from the Ruyi Golden Needle, it had a touch of the same genius.

But the Demon-Slaying Net only had two forms, a capturing net and an armguard, lacking the Ruyi Golden Needle’s ability for arbitrary transformations.

Due to his mana being depleted, Wang Chen could only temporarily stop tinkering with it.

He swallowed a Nourishing Origin Pill.

He began to practice his techniques to recover his mana.

The Nourishing Origin Pill, well balanced and with minimal pill toxicity, is a high-quality pill designed to assist in cultivation, ideal for Qi Cultivators.

Of course, it wasn’t cheap either.

The Nourishing Origin Pills that Wang Chen had came from Lv Defang’s Storage Bag, a total of three bottles’ worth!

With the help of the pill’s power, he quickly restored himself to optimal condition.

Wang Chen then carefully studied the Demon-Slaying Net again.

By midnight, when Yuanyuan was soundly sleeping in the pet wooden house, he quietly left the underground secret chamber.

He headed once more for Chaotic Burial Mound.

This time, Wang Chen was determined to strike back at Granny Tree.

Truly take it down!

Wang Chen raced along the well-trodden path, swiftly arriving at his destination.

He didn’t linger on the outskirts but instead accelerated sharply towards the heart of this evil nest.

By now, the fog originally set by Granny Tree had long dissipated, and the moon was exceptionally bright and clear, allowing Wang Chen to see the ancient tree standing tall in the midst of Chaotic Burial Mound from afar.

He enhanced himself with Spiritual Light Shield Armor, ignoring the Wandering Night Spirits and Lantern Carrying Puppets he encountered, and pushed his Shadowless Divine Traverse speed technique to its limit, rapidly closing the distance between himself and the ancient tree.

Whoosh!

Granny Tree had already detected Wang Chen’s approach.

It violently shook its huge canopy.

Thousands of black vines that entwined around it suddenly lashed out like venomous snakes, each one striking towards the intruder!

The long vines whistled through the air, their surfaces bristling with countless blood-thirsty serrations.

An imposing and terrifying sight!

Wang Chen did not dodge or evade, launching twelve Meteor Fire Talismans with both hands.

After advancing to the higher levels of Qi Cultivation, the number of Magical Talismans he could activate at once had increased.

Now facing Granny Tree, a powerful Evil Wraith, he naturally gave it his all!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Several fiery orbs exploded suddenly, the raging flames instantly engulfing vine after vine.

In the midst of the sea of flames, a streak of crimson-gold light shot fiercely through the air, breaking through the vines’ blockade with unstoppable force and striking the thick trunk of the ancient tree.

Geng Metal Finger!

The showdown between Wang Chen and Granny Tree had just begun, and it had already escalated into an intense confrontation!
